GALA-L subscriber issues

[Mary Bucholtz]

Dear all,

As one of the GALA-L list owners, I'd like to raise a couple of subscriber 
issues that have come up. First, in response to a subscriber inquiry, I've 
looked into how to add the GALA-L list name to subject headings of messages 
from the list, so that subscribers can identify GALA-L mail by the subject 
heading. If you would like to do this, here's how:

Send an email to listserv at listserv.linguistlist.org with nothing in the 
subject line and this in the body:

set gala-l subjecthdr

Messages you receive from the list will include [GALA-L] in the subject 
heading if you request this option.

Second, given the number of private messages that have been inadvertently 
sent to the list, it seems that it would be better to change the default 
setting so that hitting "reply" will reply only to the individual sender 
rather than to the entire list. This means that people who actually do want 
to reply to the whole list will need to go to extra effort. If anyone 
strongly objects to this planned change, please let me know in the next 
week. Otherwise, I'll institute the change at the end of this month.

As a reminder, if you would like to make any changes to your subscription, 
you can do so at:

<http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/gala-l.html>

The most common queries I receive involve problems with posting to the list 
because of changes of address. You can check at the URL above to see what 
email address you're currently subscribed under, and you can change your 
address there as well.

Thanks,

Mary
